Sorry for the slow action. I have not tried again to blacklist neither
nvidia nor noveau. I'm not completely sure how to do it and have not
found the time to read and experiment.

Thanks for your interest; it motivates me to try again. My system is
debian/testing. Can you suggest which steps must be taken to blacklist
both drivers (and which steps to re-enable them, in case I have to
revert to the current working but non-ideal situation).

I would also require directions or pointers on how to install from
experimental. I usually employ 'aptitude'.
Best regards,
Luis
